Hi,
As the title says there is a conflict between AMSMath \div (division symbol) & Physics \div (divergence). The output of \div macro is always -> nabla operator dot product. I suggest renaming AMSMath \div to \divisionsymbol.

The real problem is that \div is a LaTeX base macro. Consequently, it will be shadowed by physics and even loading amsmath after physics won't bring it back.
So the behaviour is similar to LaTeX where you could use a \let construct to save the old version.
However, for convenience I'll add a \divisionsymbol to the base package.
